Regardless, the Greeks have to be careful/patient here. I believe the Turks are setting something up. IE, they are trying to force a situation.
Turkey. What can you say? The Sultan is engaged in northern Iraq, Syria, Libya, the Mediterranean and Armenia through Azerbaijan. Apparently he has a deal with Niger to stage troops there so as to enter Libya from land vice the Med. I also think he is part of a group that seeks to partition Lebanon. Thus, he likely is actively plotting against Hezbollah. Relating to Lebanon, the French presence in the Mediterranean - seemingly to counter Turkey - may in fact be staging for a strike against The Hezbs.
